The Next Generation: Hunter Fieri's Wedding and MBA Milestone
The biggest headline for the Fieri family in 2025 was the wedding of Guy’s eldest son, Hunter Fieri, to his fiancée, Tara Bernstein. The couple, who share a passion for food and golf, officially tied the knot in a celebrated ceremony in August 2025.
The wedding was a major family event, held at the Fieri family ranch in California, a place that holds deep sentimental value for the family. Hunter, who has been actively following in his father's footsteps as a chef and restaurateur, celebrated the occasion alongside his parents and younger brother.
A Focus on Education: Hunter's Second Degree
Hunter’s professional achievements this year extended beyond his personal life. He recently completed a major academic goal by graduating with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Miami.
This achievement is particularly significant because it fulfills a unique requirement set by Guy Fieri for his children's inheritance: they must earn two college degrees to access the family's financial legacy. Hunter's MBA, combined with his undergraduate degree, solidifies his path not just as a culinary talent but also as a savvy business mind ready to manage the growing Fieri empire.
Hunter’s continued presence on his father's shows, including appearances on Triple D and other Food Network projects, demonstrates his commitment to the family business while establishing his own identity in the culinary world.
Ryder Fieri's College Journey and the 'Two-Degree' Rule
Guy and Lori’s youngest son, Ryder Fieri, also reached a massive life transition this year. Born on New Year's Eve, Ryder turned 19 and officially began his college career.
Ryder was accepted and moved into the dorms at San Diego State University (SDSU), where he is pursuing a degree in hospitality.
The celebrity chef and his wife shared heartfelt social media posts about dropping Ryder off at college, admitting that the emotional milestone was "gonna be hard" as they adjusted to an emptier nest.
Like his older brother, Ryder is fully aware of his father's famous "two-degree rule," which mandates that both sons must earn two college degrees to receive their inheritance.
Guy Fieri has openly explained that this rule is designed to instill a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for education, ensuring his children understand the value of hard work and perseverance, regardless of the family's success. Ryder’s choice of a hospitality degree suggests he is also positioning himself to contribute to the family's expansive restaurant and entertainment ventures in the future.
Jules Fieri: The Nephew Who Became a Lawyer and Musician
The Fieri family dynamic includes Guy’s nephew, Jules Fieri, who has been raised by Guy and Lori since Jules' mother, Guy’s sister, Morgan Fieri, passed away in 2011.
Jules, now 26, is an incredible example of the family's emphasis on achievement and dedication. This year, Jules celebrated a major academic victory by graduating from Loyola Marymount University's Loyola Law School.
What makes Jules’ accomplishment even more impressive is that he completed his demanding law degree while simultaneously working full-time in the music industry. Guy Fieri publicly praised his nephew’s "perseverance" and commitment, highlighting the family's pride in his ability to balance two challenging career paths.
Jules Fieri's journey adds another layer to the Fieri family's story, demonstrating that their support extends beyond their immediate children and that success is measured not only in culinary or entertainment fields but also in law, business, and creative arts.
Lori Fieri: The Underrated Matriarch of the Fieri Empire
While Guy Fieri is the face of Flavortown, his wife, Lori Fieri, is the quiet, grounding force that has held the family together for decades. The couple met in 1992 and have been married since 1995, forming a partnership that predates Guy's Food Network fame.
Lori is credited with keeping the family focused and balanced amidst Guy’s hectic travel schedule for shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Her role as the primary force in raising Hunter, Ryder, and Jules—especially after taking in Jules following his mother's passing—cannot be overstated.
As the family celebrates their three major 2025 milestones—Hunter's wedding, Ryder's college start, and Jules' law graduation—Lori’s influence is seen in the strong, grounded, and ambitious young men they have become. She is the true, unsung hero of the Fieri family, ensuring that the "two-degree rule" and the values of hard work are upheld, guaranteeing the Fieri legacy continues to thrive across multiple generations and industries.
